Today I read that gambling is one of the worst addictions to have.

Among the different kinds of addictions, those addicted to gambling are “least likely to come forward to seek help. They find it difficult to wrap their heads around the fact that they have a problem”, said Dr Winslow.

“None of the alcoholics I’ve worked with think that by going back to drinking, all their problems will be gone. “But gamblers, they think that the next time they go back to gambling, their problems will disappear.”

This mindset is spurred by the pursuit of the next big win, even though there is no guarantee there would be any windfall.
